Advocating for the right of consenting adults to share and enjoy love, sex, residence, and marriage without limits on the gender, number, or relation of participants. Full marriage equality is a basic human right.

I
am not in a GSA relationship but two family members who I love dearly
are. The fact of what others want to negatively judge not only just
breaks my heart and [I] want to cry for my female relative in this
relationship so she doesn't have to anymore. The fact that she feels she
must keep such a secret from her friends and society is horrible. She
seems to struggle inside so much with her heart and with what everyone
else has thought, said, or might think and say if they found out. [This] hurts him 'cause the distance she keeps him at. With all she has been
through with other guys [it] would be great without the stigma of them
being related. Like her, I don't understand why it is so wrong
when I [have] never seen two people make each other so happy and love each
other so much.

How and why does society make it so hard for them? I
ramble and am upset as I type this. I am a very emotional person when it
comes to the people in my life I love and care about, so please excuse my
explosion of words in trying to make sense of this all. I just want so
much to know what to say or do to not make her feel wrong. I can't
figure it out myself, which I hate [as] I have no way to help
her realize that the love they feel and show each other when they are
together (non-sexual people!) is what people yearn for till we die. It [is]
just so mind-blowing and shows me how society is a 'hater' upon all
of us. If anyone could tell me what to do to help her not feel so wrong... and should feel truly in love and not feel wrong
for it, please let me know. I don't care that they're related. How could it
be so wrong when they make each other so happy? I don't get it!
GRRRRRRRR!

Thanks for listening.

Thank you, Anonymous. Allies, especially allies within the family, are so helpful.

To prevent spam, comments will have to be approved, so your comment may not appear for several hours. Feedback is welcome, including disagreement. I only delete/reject/mark as spam: spam, vulgar or hateful attacks, repeated spouting of bigotry from the same person that does not add to the discussion, and the like. I will not reject comments based on disagreement, but if you don't think consenting adults should be free to love each other, then I do not consent to have you repeatedly spout hate on my blog without adding anything to the discourse.

If you want to write to me privately, then either contact me on Facebook, email me at fullmarriageequality at protonmail dot com, or tell me in your comment that you do NOT want it published. Otherwise, anything you write here is fair game to be used in a subsequent entry. If you want to be anonymous, that is fine.

IT IS OK TO TALK ABOUT SEX IN YOUR COMMENTS, BUT PLEASE CHOOSE YOUR WORDS CAREFULLY AS I WANT THIS BLOG TO BE AS "SAFE FOR WORK" AS POSSIBLE. If your comment includes graphic descriptions of activity involving minors, it's not going to get published.

Full Marriage Equality

About This Blog

I argue for marriage equality. By that I mean that society and all local, state, federal, and international laws, institutions, and programs should recognize any marriage registered by any persons without restrictions on the basis of race, color, creed, ancestry, national origin, sex, gender, sexual orientation, or religion.

The global definition of marriage should be as follows: "The uniting of consenting individuals in a witnessed ceremony."

We believe everyone has the right to share love, sex, residence, and marriage with any and all consenting adult(s) of their choice, regardless of birth or sexual orientation.

The Fine Print

The focus of this blog is consenting adults. This blog does not advocate anyone engage in activity that is currently illegal in their jurisdiction; it does advocate changing or repealing any law that prevents the freedom of association, love, and full marriage equality for adults. This blog condemns rape, sexual assault, and child molestation, and frowns in the general direction of cheating. This blog exists mainly to evaluate information and direct others to information about current events; it does not provide medical, therapeutic, legal, financial, or cooking advice. This blog links to other sites for informational purposes; it does not necessarily support everything at those links.
